Quip meaning12/28/2023 He was handsome and radiant, a darkish ruddy glow coming from his face as though he'd seen some powerful mystery. There was no denying the beauty of his smooth poreless sun-darkened skin, and even as the dark slit of the empty socket seemed to peer at me with some secret power to relay its vision to his heart. Why do you love me after all I've done to you? he asked. Tell us why you are afraid, but I think it's something far worse than fear that I see now in you. She could not kill the quaver in her voice.So he's taken you to his Hell and sent you back? She took Lestat's face in her hands and turned it towards her.Then tell us what it was, this Hell, tell us why we must be afraid. So the Prince of Lies had a tale to tell, did he? she asked. I wanted to comfort him, to tell him wherever he'd gone and whatever had taken place, he was now safe again with us, but nothing could quiet him. But we can talk of those things for many nights hereafter. I think you were made for this, for reasoning, and given to us, if I may speculate, to force us to see our catastrophes in the new light of modern conscience. Where did this demon Memnoch take you? How comforting and reasonable your voice sounded, just as it does now. We would have waited here forever for you. You intervened then, David.Tell us, Lestat. She teaches doctrines with every step that would make the pagan gods of lust canonize her with glee. Ah, what an angel of the Lord, this, I thought musing, this heiress of the druglord Father's severed head. Let me return to the scene, the three of us gathered in the black-lacquered Chinese chairs around the thick glass table, and Dora coming in, at once struck by the presence of him, of which her mortal senses hadn't given her a clue, a pretty picture with her short gleaming knavish black hair, cut high to show the fragile nape of her swanlike neck, her long supple body clad in a loose ungirdled gown of purple red tissue that folded itself about her small breasts and slender thighs exquisitely. As for the bundle he had carried in his arms, what could it have possibly been? I do not even think I thought of it. I remember only that the morning hastened us away, and if you cried too, I never heard you, I never thought to listen. He was washed and dressed, his torn and bleeding foot no doubt healed. He came quietly into the parlor of the apartment as the darkness clambered down, starry for a few precious moments before the dreary descent of snow. One shoe was left to him, the other foot bare, his coat torn, his hair wild and snagged with thorns and dried leaves and bits of errant flowers. Loved him then, yes, I had, but this had been a bodily disaster which his evil blood would heal, and I knew from our old lore that in the healing he would gain even greater strength than serene time itself would have given him.īut the worst, the very worst horror of all, was that one eye had been torn from his beautiful face, and the socket of vampiric lids puckered and shuddered, seeking to close, refusing to acknowledge this horrid disfigurement to the body rendered perfect for all time when he'd been made immortal. Oh, why had I come to his aid? Why must I see him brought low like this when it had taken so many painful decades to cement my love for him forever?īut what I'd seen now was a devastation of the soul in his anguished face, and the vision of the one blue eye, shining so vividly in his streaked and wretched face, had been unbearable. As I sank down that morning into my own resting place, secure in clean modern darkness, I cried and cried like a child on account of the sight of him.

Animatrice fip12/28/2023 Cats with dry FIP often present with lethargy, stunted growth, inappetence, fever, anemia, and/or protruding third eyelid(s). We recommend downloading the Diagnosis Algorithm below, and providing a copy to your veterinarian.ĭry FIP may present with a variety of symptoms, many of which are consistent with other conditions as well, which makes for a more challenging diagnosis. A positive titer for FCoV is NOT an indicator that the cat has FIP. Ninety five percent of cats in the world have been exposed to FCoV. What is sometimes referred to (incorrectly) as an “FIP test” measures the cat’s exposure to FCoV. A proper diagnosis requires a multitude of diagnostics both to confirm FIP, as well as to rule out out conditions that share similar symptoms. NOTE: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN “FIP TEST”. If the cat does not have FIP, the GS will do no harm. GS441 does not treat or cure any condition other than FIP therefore, if the cat begins to respond after a few doses, FIP can be confirmed. In cases where FIP is the presumptive diagnosis, an alternative to extensive additional lab work or procedures is to use GS diagnostically. RT-PCR on blood or feces can, and often does yield a false positive, or a false negative. A negative RT-PCR on fluid does not necessarily rule out FIP, as there is roughly a 30% chance of a false negative.ĭO NOT run a RT-PCR test on blood or feces. A positive RT-PCR on the fluid is a confirmed diagnosis of wet FIP. Quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) is an interesting recent development in which the amount of virus in the sample may be measured. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detects the RNA of the FCoV – i.e. If FIP, the effusion is typically high in protein, straw or honey colored, and viscous. This is a simple procedure that is done in the office, typically without the need for anesthesia or sedative. Using a syringe, the veterinarian draws a sample of the fluid for testing. In that both FIV and FELV are more common and can present similar to FIP, these should be tested for and ruled out as a primary or secondary diagnosis. Not all blood results will look the same however, if some markers are present and the cat’s symptoms suggest a presumptive diagnosis of FIP, further diagnostics are generally recommended. Most FIP cats will have non-regenerative anemia, as well as a persistent fever. The typical FIP blood work will show low albumin, high globulin, high white blood cell count, low red blood cell count, high neutrophils, high protein, and high bili. Whenever wet FIP is suspected, a complete blood panel and chemistry panel should be the first step toward a diagnosis. If the fluid build up is severe, breathing may sound congested or be visibly labored.Īdditional symptoms typically include inappetence, lethargy, high fever that does not respond to antibiotics, 3rd eyelid protrusion, and occasionally jaundice. If the effusion is in the heart or lungs, the cat may not have any outward changes in appearance. Cats who have ascites will often appear pot-bellied and their belly may feel like a water balloon. Effusive FIP is characterized by a build up of fluid in the cat’s abdomen (ascites), lungs (pleural effusion) or heart (pericardial effusion).

Army navy streaker12/28/2023 So, the intelligence report about MQM-107D making its way into the totalitarian state was rather odd, to say the least. Pyongyang has so far built unmanned aerial vehicles in the past based on Chinese designs to spy over South Korea, which feature highly explosive armaments and has GPS-waypoint navigational capability. It added that the North’s military has placed explosives on drones in several tests but has yet to master the technology. “North Korea recently bought several US MQM-107D Streakers from a Middle Eastern nation that appears to be Syria, and is developing unmanned attack aircraft based on them,” a South Korean news agency, Yonhap, reported. However, reports began circulating in 2012 that a few of these RPVs had made their way to Syria, then sold to North Korea. As a result, the current inventory is scheduled for phase-out in favor of Composite Engineering’s BQM-167 Skeeter as its replacement. The production continued until 2003, when the program ended. Other variants include Super-MQM, an experimental Raytheon version of the MQM-107D, and Raider, a proposed tactical unmanned aircraft capable of active and passive countermeasures. Australia was among the first country to operate the RPV besides the US, and they chose the “E” variant as a replacement to its GAF Jindivik (“Hunted Ones”) target drones, designating it as N28 Kalkara. However, instead of Raytheon (who at this point bought Beech Aircraft), the Army selected British manufacturer BAE Systems. Then, in the early 1990s, the MQM-107E variant was developed, which received an overhaul in its wing and maneuverability, and can employ either the Teledyne CAE J402 engine or the “D” variant’s engine. In 1989, the engine of the “D” variant was replaced with a Microturbo TRI 60-5. An MQM-107C, which featured the fuselage of MQM-107B, was built to exhaust the J402-CA-700 engine surplus, as well as with MQM-107D instead equipped with J402-CA-702. Once in the air, the aircraft will be powered by a Microturbo TRI 60-2 turbojet (MQM-107B) of 831-pound thrust. (Image source: Wikimedia Commons)Ī manning crew will launch the platform on the ground with solid fuel boosters that quickly accelerate it to roughly 250 mph. An F-16 Fighting Falcon flying in formation with an MQM-107E. A parachute will aid the aircraft’s landing recovery at the end of the mission. Its trajectory could be programmed ahead of the launch or changed during flight by a ground controller via a radio link. The MQM-107 Streaker can endure a two-hour and eighteen-minute flight at a maximum speed of 575 mph and reach a ceiling of 40,000 feet. It boasted about eighteen feet in length and a wingspan of more than nine feet that stood at approximately four feet. Spicing things up, it could also drop chaff and flares to deceive interceptor crews. Powered By A Microturbo EngineĪccording to the US Air Force National Museum, the Streaker was a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) used to simulate the characteristics of potential enemy targets, including the heat and radar returns. This includes Australia, Egypt, Iran, South Korea, and Turkey, to name a few. The remote aircraft was updated several times over the next two decades, with different engines and payloads, and used by various operators besides the US. The Air Force also used the target towing drone for testing some of its air-to-air missiles, including the short-range AIM-9 Sidewinder and the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). (Image source: USAF National Museum)īy 1975, the Army awarded “The Striker” the contract subsequently used the platform to test systems like the man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS), FIM-92 Stinger, and the SAM system, MIM-104 Patriot, until 1979. The Army had been attempting “to meet the 1972 Variable Speed Training Target (VSTT) requirement for a reusable, turbojet-powered, target towing drone capable of testing surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems,” and the MQM-107A fit the bill. Reusable, Target Towing Droneīeech Aircraft (now Raytheon Aerospace) developed the earlier version of the MQM-107 in the early 1970s for the US Army Aviation and Missile Command. Unmanned drones have played a significant role in the US military and have been a game changer on the battlefield since their inception, and Beechcraft’s MQM-107 Streaker was among the first to take flight. Concerning body fluid compartments12/28/2023 Īll of these changes in attitude and knowledge support the argument that the role of chloride in the ICU deserves more attention. At the same time, our knowledge of chloride channels has increased in the past decade with new discoveries of their crystal structures, physiological roles and their association with human diseases. This change in perception may be particularly relevant to intensivists, given that hyperchloraemia appears relatively common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Hyperchloraemia was thus finally seen as important for the pathogenesis of metabolic acidosis. Within the Stewart approach, chloride is the dominant negative strong ion in plasma and a key contributor to the strong ion difference (SID), one of the three independent variables that determine the hydrogen ion concentration. In the 1990s, hyperchloraemic acidosis became more thoroughly studied as the physicochemical approach (Stewart approach) to acid-base analysis began to receive wider acceptance. This progress can be traced to more than 100 years ago with the observation of a poisonous effect of sodium chloride solutions on nerve muscle preparation, followed by recognition of metabolic acidosis after saline infusion in the 1920s, and the concept of hyperchloraemic acidosis. Progress in our understanding of acid-base and chloride channel physiology, however, challenges the notion that neglecting chloride is justified. It is therefore little surprise that chloride is sometimes referred to as the forgotten electrolyte. For example, the PubMed search term 'hyperchloremia' generates 181 citations while 'hypernatremia' and 'hypercalcemia' generate 2,481 and 15,518 citations, respectively. The amount of attention chloride receives in critically ill patients, however, is limited and much less than other routinely measured electrolytes. Finally, the review examines the potential intensive care unit practice implications of a better understanding of chloride.Ĭhloride is the major strong anion in blood - accounting for approximately one-third of plasma tonicity, for 97 to 98% of all strong anionic charges and for two-thirds of all negative charges in plasma. The paper also highlights current knowledge on the impact of different types of intravenous fluids on chloride concentration and the potential effects of such changes on organ physiology. The present review summarizes key aspects of chloride physiology, including its channels, as well as the clinical relevance of disorders of chloraemia. It has also indirectly helped to generate interest in other possible effects of disorders of chloraemia. In clinical practice, interest in a physicochemical approach to acid-base physiology has directed renewed attention to chloride as a major determinant of acid-base status. New insights into its physiological roles have emerged together with progress in understanding the structures and functions of chloride channels. Yet chloride has received less attention than any other ion in the critical care literature. Its concentration is frequently abnormal in intensive care unit patients, often as a consequence of fluid therapy. Chloride is the principal anion in the extracellular fluid and is the second main contributor to plasma tonicity. Guideliner icd 10 code teleflex12/28/2023 Similar patterns were observed for patients hospitalized with HF (30-day postadmission mortality: aOR, 3.5 95% CI, 3.4-3.7 30-day postdischarge mortality: aOR, 3.5 95% CI, 3.3-3.6 and 30-day readmission: aOR, 2.9 95% CI, 2.8-3.0) and among patients with pneumonia (30-day postadmission mortality: aOR, 2.5 95% CI, 2.3-2.6 30-day postdischarge mortality: aOR, 3.0 95% CI, 2.9-3.2 and 30-day readmission: aOR, 2.8 95% CI, 2.7-2.9). Among patients hospitalized for AMI, an HFRS more than 15 (compared with an HFRS <5) was associated with a higher risk of 30-day postadmission mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 3.6 95% CI, 3.4-3.8), 30-day postdischarge mortality (aOR, 4.0 95% CI, 3.7-4.3), and 30-day readmission (aOR, 3.0 95% CI, 2.9-3.1) after multivariable adjustment for age, sex, race, and comorbidities. The mean (SD) HFRS was 7.3 (7.4) for patients with AMI, 10.8 (8.3) for patients with HF, and 8.2 (5.7) for patients with pneumonia. Results For 785 127 participants, there were 166 200 hospitalizations for AMI, 348 619 for HF, and 270 308 for pneumonia. We evaluated the incremental effect of adding the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) to current comorbidity-based risk-adjustment models for 30-day outcomes across all conditions. Main Outcomes and Measures Rates of mortality within 30 days of admission and 30 days of discharge, as well as 30-day readmission rates by frailty group. Objective To determine whether the addition of frailty measures to traditional comorbidity-based risk-adjustment models improved prediction of outcomes for patients with AMI, HF, and pneumonia.ĭesign, Setting, and Participants A nationwide cohort study included Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries 65 years and older in the United States between January 1 and December 1, 2016. This may have important implications for hospitals that tend to care for frail populations and participate in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services value-based payment programs, which use these risk-adjusted metrics to determine reimbursement. Importance The addition of a claims-based frailty metric to traditional comorbidity-based risk-adjustment models for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and pneumonia improves the prediction of 30-day mortality and readmission. Meaning Unless frailty is adequately captured in risk-adjustment metrics, it is possible that hospitals that care for a higher proportion of frail patients are disproportionately financially penalized for worse outcomes owing to unrecognized comorbidities among the patients they care for, rather than quality of care delivered. When added to traditional comorbidities typically used in risk-adjustment models for these conditions, this claims-based frailty score significantly improved prediction of 30-day outcomes. Question Does the addition of frailty to traditional comorbidity-based risk-adjustment models improve the prediction of 30-day mortality and readmission for these conditions?įindings In this cohort study of 785 127 participants, frailty as determined by an International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision claims-based frailty score was associated with a higher risk of 30-day outcomes for acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and pneumonia hospitalizations.
